Eagles coach Andy Reidsaid Wednesday that the team wouldn’t rush Jackson back into action, despite the importance of the game. The Eagles are 7-4 and currently hold one of the NFC’s wild-card playoff spots, but the Falcons are 6-5 and would own the head-to-head tiebreaker with a win at the Georgia Dome.

Jackson leads the Eagles in receiving yards (769) and receiving touchdowns (six), and he also handles punt-return duties. He sustained the concussion during last Sunday’s 27-24 victory over the Redskins.

The Eagles did receive some good news Thursday when DT Brodrick Bunkley fully practiced on his injured ankle. Bunkley missed Wednesday’s workout.
